Seattle Gift Show Jan 2013

A booth at the 2012 Gift Show

A clever display

I must say that I am looking forward to the January 2013 Seattle Gift Show next week. I went to my first gift show last fall and found it fascinating and a bit overwhelming (so many booths to visit!). I LOVED it and I learned a lot about what is currently for sale in retail stores (that was an eye-opener!!).

This time I am going with an actual purpose in mind. I am hoping to find a few vendors/suppliers for a few of the base-supplies I want to use in making some my products (for instance, hair clips for me to decorate with all my lovely buttons!). I've been doing a lot of research about owning a business and am now starting to work on getting my business to grow - so I'm hoping that I can make a few good connections here to help me in the future.

More fun home decor items from the Gift Show

If you ever have the opportunity to go - I highly recommend it!! It's amazing what you can learn there! Plus I found it to be very inspirational in my business AND my personal life (I very much wanted to buy things to decorate my house with!!).

Maybe some day I will be able to have a booth at this gift show where I offer my products wholesale (what an exciting idea)!

I'll be wearing a t-shirt with my company name and logo on it - if you see me there, stop me and say hello! I'd love to chat with you!
